Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic(NEW YORK) -- He graces our TVs each week on The Voice, but now Adam Levine is moving into scripted TV.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Maroon 5 frontman is in final negotiations to appear in season 2 of the FX hit series American Horror Story. EW reports that Adam would play half of a couple known as "the Lovers" on the show, and that the producers are willing to shoot around his summer tour schedule because they're so jazzed about having him on.American Horror Story was created by Glee mastermind Ryan Murphy. The first season was about a family that moves into a haunted house in Los Angeles. Season 2 will feature the original cast members returning in completely different roles, and the action will shift to a different creepy location on the East Coast.

Dan Gorder/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) -- Maroon 5 will guest-star on the May 11 installment Top Chef Masters, Bravo's reality competition show that pits the world's most famous chefs against one another in a quest to earn money for their favorite charities.

The band will drop by and challenge the masters to create a "feast fit for a rock star" -- but they'll be forced to cook their meal in a "surprise location" other than a kitchen. In the past, contestants on Top Chef Masters have often had to prepare meals in odd locations, such as a college dorm room with just a hot plate.

Maroon 5's appearance on the Bravo series may be the result of Adam Levine's new gig on The Voice. Both NBC, which airs The Voice, and Bravo are owned by the same company.

Dan Gorder/FilmMagic)(LOS ANGELES) -- As promised, Maroon 5 and Train have now announced details of their joint summer tour, which kick off July 22 in Chula Vista, Calif.

Gavin DeGraw will open the first leg of the tour, and the second leg, which starts Aug. 28, will feature Matt Nathanson as the opener.

The joint tour will feature a stop at the Hollywood Bowl, which is, surprisingly, the first time either of these two California-based bands have played a headlining show at that venue.

The campaign was started by writer Dan Savage in response to the rash of suicides among teenagers who were bullied due to their sexual orientation. Its goal is to prevent suicide by having famous adults, both gay and straight, assure teens their lives will get better as they get older, even though things may seem bleak at the moment.

In his video, Levine agrees that he, too, hated high school, but tells kids, "If you can get through it, there is a whole world out there that exists beyond people treating you badly...there's a whole world beyond high school that is a lot better."

Addressing teens who are being bullied, he says, "Don't let them win....because it's such a terrible energy to spread." To kids who are struggling, Adam says, "We support you, and we really do love you. We've all been there before."

He finishes by saying, "Human beings treating each other like human beings is the most important thing on earth. That's where it all starts. So we need to figure out how to do that."﻿

Now that the album is out and people know the songs, the band is cranking up the tour again. It kicks off Wednesday, Oct. 6 in Santa Barbara, California, and is scheduled to run through Oct. 29.

The first leg of the Hands All Over tour featured a diverse group of opening acts, from Owl City to American Idol champ Kris Allen to British soul singer V.V. Brown. Opening acts for the new leg include OneRepublic and Bruno Mars.

Responding to why the band chose different opening acts, instead of just one, lead singer Adam Levine explains, "We love everything....we're not really very snobby when it comes to [musical] genre or things like that." He adds, "At the end of the day, we like to be eclectic. We love music. And that's first and foremost always gonna be the case."
